New Sailor Story

Episode 19: Back to the show! Pt 4

Mina is getting tired of people not understanding whenever they always say "Talk to me, I care about you."
They say that, but then everyone says the same thing.
"Why don't you think about Hawk? Why don't you pay attention to the good things? But they care about you."
It's getting irritating. She will never talk to any giants. She will only tell her other scouts.

Tiana gets on the video call.
"Ok, it's time."(Tiana)
"Yes, your majesty."(Goofy)
"Mina, come here, you're going home."(Sora pats on the teleporter)
"I'll see you again someday, Mina"(Jiminy)
"Bye guys."(Mina)
Mina lands on the teleporter and transports to Tiana's lab.
She tries to leave the lab and fly ahead to Hawk's Apartment.
Tiana looks back at her.
"Mina, you know you don't go anywhere without permission."(Tiana)
Mina tiredly flies back and lands on the table that Tiana put her hands on.
"Anyways, thank you boys for looking after her, bye!"(Tiana hangs up the call)
She looks down at Mina.
"Mina, what is going on with you?"(Tiana)
Mina thinks whether or not she should tell the truth.
"I'm sleepy."(Mina)
"I know, sweetie. But you feel something else. I can sense it."(Tiana)
Mina looks up at Tiana rather angrily.
"I just went through something. I don't want to talk about it."(Mina)
"Ok fine."(Tiana)
Tiana snaps her fingers and Mina transforms back.
'I didn't know she could do that'(Mina thinks)
"Are you really sleepy, or do you want to go see the girls?"(Tiana)
"I want to go in my room"(Mina says with dead eyes)
"Ok then. You can just say so. Just cause you need permission for something doesn't mean you can't do it. I just want to know where you're going, baby."(Tiana says in a tone to try and get it through to her)

The Gummi Ship
"Wait did she mention we were going to get a different scout?"(Donald)
"That's what you are thinking about? Mina left upset! She literally proved her point just now."(Jiminy)
"Why? What happened?"(Donald)
"Are you that clueless? Mina was trying to leave the room and Tiana literally said, 'Mina, you don't go anywhere without permission'"(Sora)
"She said that?"(Donald)
"When she said they were controlled I didn't imagine that it was that much. Back in the castle we could go anywhere unless there was a mission to complete"(Goofy)
"I do feel bad for them now."(Sora)
"I'm going to wait until she says that we are getting a different scout. For now let's make our way back to the Coliseum to train as much as we can and win awards!"(Sora)
"I agree"(Goofy)

Hawk's Apartment
Mina was brought to her room by Tiana.
Feels violating at a time like this when she's having a full flashback to everything that led everyone to Maho no Kuni. She feels humiliated by telling the Trinity everything.

Hawk is getting texts from Tiana stating concerns about Mina.
He is starting to get worried too. Since no one knows what Mina could possibly be thinking about right now.

Tiana decides to call The Trinity.
"What happened guys?"(Tiana)
"Oh, Mina spoke to us about how she was feeling."(Sora)
"When we went to the Dwarves' World while we were fighting the queen, there was a moment when Mina tied up the queen and then she threatened to kill the queen. Then the Queen said a thing kind of like 'Mina! Please, my life is hard, you don't understand'. During that time Mina started to tear up and I think she had flashbacks about when she first arrived to Maho no Kuni, because that's what she was telling us about on the Gummi Ship. At first she didn't want to tell us. But we kind of pushed her because we were worried about her. Maybe she really didn't want to talk about it."(Donald)
"I see."(Tiana realizes that maybe all the girls were at least somewhat feeling that deep down and maybe the bad memories fell back to her)
"Queen, can I ask an honest question? I don't disagree with it or anything. It's just something about Mina that I have sympathy for."(Sora)
"Go ahead"(Tiana)
"Why can't they go anywhere as they please?"(Sora)
"I think I'm just paranoid that they'll run away. I know that none of them like us that much. It's not that they dislike us that much. It's just that they would have no emotional problem with just escaping, or just getting into danger"(Tiana)
When the Trinity hear this, all they see is a broken "family". If you can even call it a family. The scouts don't feel like a part of it.
"But, we are working to fix it. I set up ways that their caretakers have to be with them alone. See, it's weird when they are out and about in a new place, that's the only environment where they actually want to be with their caretakers. So I think if they have enough of that they'll grow to like and want to be with their caretakers. Maybe I should get rid of the term "caretaker" because that gives a business vibe. I want to them to see them as a parent or a dad. See, if it came to a point where they love us and trust us 100% I would let them have all the freedom in the world to go anywhere. I want to be at a place where I can completely trust them to come back"(Tiana)
When the Trinity hear this, it makes total sense.
"Can I ask another annoying question?"(Goofy)
"Sure"(Tiana)
"Will we get a scout soon?"(Goofy)
"Umm, do you guys want to have Ami, Lita or Rei?"(Tiana)
"But isn't it an easy option? The only we haven't had is Rei."(Sora)
Tiana looks off to the side.
